What chances? thats 2 matches in row now where had nothing. He dribbles half the team himself and curls a shot that just skins the post and ur whining that he didnt win us the match
You buy Ronaldo to get him on the end of chances and score you big goals but you surround him with utter shite and donkeys with no serivce.

Relax.
And since you asked, yes, Ronaldo was bought to create his own chances and score them. That's the whole point of him.
Criticising Ronaldo lol. Guy led a team to 3 CLs in a row just before joining us to get outscored by Quags at Sampdoria and people think the best CL scorer of all time is the problem.
No, our midfield is shit and we create fuck all for CR. Hopefully Ramsey and Rabiot can both get into the starting XI and stay fit for the main games or we'll fail again, CR will demand to fuck off and probably go back to scoring 40 goals a season until he's approaching 40

Nobody said he is "the problem" at all. I am so glad we have him, but I hate seeing this fanboy shit where everyone dawdles over him and complains that he doesn't get service or chances. I'm sure at this point that at least 98% of this forum knows our midfield is the cause of our issues ("our new players are not even on the pitch yet" were my exact words), but never would I frame that issue of the starting 11 having a poor midfield as "surround him with utter shite and donkeys with no serivce," as that is clearly Ronaldo-centric.
He does create chances for himself by hes movement or aerial play which is the best in the game and bits of magic now and then like tonight almost but that also requires players in midfield that cant actually provide a final pass. It seems like u have misunderstood what ronaldo is last 4 years. But good to know that Ronaldo needs to dribble past 2 or 3 players and score himself every game to not be out scored by a midtable player here...Maybe you should of bought Lukaku instead.
Ronaldo was never going to replicate his Real Madrid numbers (Over 1 goal a game). Real Madrid were stupidly offensive when he played for them, and created a lot for him.
29 goals in 47 games for Juventus, about 0.6 goals per game. That's where he's at throughout his Portugal and Manchester United career. Get used to it.

For Portugal he has had sub standard teammates for the majority of the time and for Man Utd he wasn’t a goalscorer by trade until his last 2 seasons (not to mention being extremely young).
Since Portugal’s team improved and Santos became coach, he has scored 42 goals in 45 games so in reality he doesn’t need an ultra offensive set up to get 40 goals per season. He just needs decent enough service which he doesn’t really get here.

Ronaldo's uniqueness is his relentlessness. A lot of players can read the offensive play, but not a lot, if any, have the drive to be there every single time. It takes a lot physically and mentally. There were games in his prime where he had 15 shots a game.
But there's also a downside. He's not a very good finisher. You can check the stats. He's the most wasteful striker in Europe this past decade.
Meaning, you need to create a lot for him and you'll get your goals. It'll take years to transform Juventus to suit Ronaldo.
We're talking about not only changing players (The Matuidi's and the Khedira's), but also changing the culture of the club.
Funny as it sounds, his best scoring season for Juventus will probably be when he's 37/38.

Messi's 17% (Never gone down 17% this past decade - usually above 20%) is enough to match or surpass 8 of Ronaldo's 9 seasons. And he's to most extreme case, because he's the closest to Ronaldo in terms of shots per game. Usually prolific stirkers stay above 20%.
